Exhaust Layout

[Rusk]

Hello all,

Just a quick question I thought I knew the answer to but now it seems what I think is wrong

On the B7 as we all know there are the two 2.0 TDI engines. Now I always thought you could tell which was the 140 and which was the 170 by the exhaust pipes. The 140 has twin pipes in the left corner and the 170 has the single pipe on each side.

Is this correct or complete wrong?

Cheers,

Russ

Russ your right the 140 has the twin tail pipes on the left the 170 has the split pipes one in each corner. I must admit the 170 pipes look great but unfortunately the wages wont stretch to swappin the one on my 140.
( not being that mechanically minded a think that's right )

The normal 2.0 litre (130bhp) has a single pipe on the left, the 1.9 TDI and 2.0 (140) have twin pipes on one side and as far as I know all the others have a single pipe on each side.
I agree with Andy the single pipe on each side looks great. Good choice of colour

Full list as far as I am aware:

Petrol
1.6 102ps = single exhaust on one side
2.0 130ps = single exhaust on one side
1.8T 163ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side
2.0T 200/220ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side
3.2 V6 256ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side

4.2 V8 S4 344ps = dual exhaust two pipes on each side
4.2 V8 RS4 420ps = dual exhaust one large oval pipe on each side

Diesel
1.9TDI 115ps = dual exhaust two pipes on one side
2.0TDI 140ps = dual exhaust two pipes on one side
2.0TDI 170ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side
2.7 V6 TDI 180ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side
3.0 V6 TDI 233ps = dual exhaust one pipe on each side

Ok kool I thought I was right

So unless their cars were remapped my two friends that have bought B7s after seeing mine are lying about having a 170 just to try and better me .

Oh and if you remap is it show on your V5 car document thing?

I have a 1993 Audi V8 4.2 ltr car with 50,000 miles. It runs really well except when driven hard a tinny rattle can be heard from the exhaust which sounds as if it is coming from inside the exhaust.

Can anyone tell me how to work out where the noise is coming from and how to fix it.

Also, if I do have to replace part of the exhaust of this car, what make of exhaust give the best noise and performance at a reasonable price.
